I have never even heard of a Freespace open source project......
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

You haven't?!?!?

By all means
clickety-click
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Yeah, but I know I have downloaded something that is FS_open, and is newer than my current version. It had a launcher.exe enclosed.

That's probably Phreak's build.  It's considered to be beta, the current official build is 3.51.  I recommend that you go and download the current release in the specular thread and enjoy the specular lighting goodness!

Thanks man, I'll have a look at it how stable(working painlessly, not the house the horses are in :D) it is.

I wouldn't. The specular build is fantastic but it's not exactly the best example of stability as lots of people have been having problems with it.

I'd recommend one of Phreaks builds for stability instead.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

Haven't had a single problem with that specular build.:doubt:

I say try it first, then if it doesn't work, get Phreak's.

Call me when the SCP is finished.

ITHOV, for the record, is original code only.  We don't need no fancy-shmansy effects.:p

Thanks the god! At last I don't have to suffer with it while doing FRED for ITHOV!
